Beit known that I, WILLIAM BroKNELI., of Hartford, in the county ofOxford, and State of Maine, have invented a new and useful method ofCommunicating Motion from one wheel to another; and I do hereby fdeclare that the following is Va full, clear, -and exact description ofthe construction and' operation ofthe same,

reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of thisspecification, sufficient-to enable others skilled in the artto make anduse my said invention without other invention or experiment.`

My invention consists in a new method'oi' eommunicatingmotion fromonewheel to another. Figure 1 is anv elevation. i i Figure 2 is asection of so much of the machine :1s shoivsits' principle and niodc ofoperation. A is a iyjwheel mounted ori-a shaft, B. Upon pivotsdo, on thesidejof said flywheel, are mounted `one or more cog or friction-Wheels,c, so arranged,4by weights or otherwise, that a given plane passingthrough the airis of either of them shall always preserve the same anglewith the horizon during the revolution `of the yfwheel. i Upon a sleeve,d, turning freely on the shaft B, is mounted a drum, D, and a.cog-wheel, e', meshingl into -tlre f cog-wheels c. Upon revolvingily-wheel Agif the cog-wheels c and e are of the same number of teeth,drum' i D will move at twice the speed Vof wheel AL If wheels c are ofmore teeth than c', the speed will he increased; i if they are less thespeed will he diminished, because the cog-wheels c make one revolutionon their axis `while i Wheel A, to which they are ai'xed,'is making arevolution, and a combination of the direct revolutions of wheel A withthe reverse revolution of wheels c, gives a revolution to wheel c',and,hy consequence, to drum to which motion is transmitted in thefollowing proportion: velocity of A: velocity of Dz: diameter of c:`twice diameter of c, but substituting the number of teeth in wheels c'and el, -when cog-Wheels and no t frictionvheels` are used. y

What I claim as my invention, and' desire to secure by Letters Patent,is

Thenew method of' transmitting motion, consisting of the arrangementupon iiy-wheel A, of cog or frictioni so constructed that a planepassing through thc axis of either of them shall preserve the same angleil, with the horizon throughout the revolution of Wheel A, said wheels cdrivin g Wheel c', suhstantiallyas described.` i
